Had Septoplasty and Rhinoplasty and the Roof of my Mouth Hurts

You describe a relatively common complaint after septoplasty, that is temporary.  One of the nerves that serves the roof of the mouth travels through the lower portion of the septum, so patients can often get temporary disruption of this nerve with work lone on the lower septum.  Pain, numbness, dental pain, or dull throbbing are all part of the spectrum.  It usually goes away quickly, as in the first couple of weeks, but will continue to improve well past the surgery as it eventually gets to normal.  Nothing else you can do but wait.

Minimal pain or discomfort is common following a
septoplasty and rhinoplasty procedure. If the pain is tolerable, I would advise
that you try to be as patient as possible with this addition to your recovery.
Though you may feel uncomfortable, the feeling should subside within a week or
two. If the problem persists, you should consider scheduling a follow up to
have your surgeon evaluate the situation in person. 

Hi,

Either the pain is from tubing or gauze packing that is placed into the mouth by anesthesiologists when using LMA tubes, or by chiseling off some of your inferior septum during your septoplasty, the nerve was affected.  Usually when the nerve is affected it is manifested by numbness or achiness in the front upper teeth.  The pain usually resolves in a short amount of time.  Good luck and be well.
